Correct answer: 25

Redrawing network, we get a balanced Wheatstone's network.

What is two times the energy stored in the capacitor (in μ J ) between terminals ' a ' and ' b ' of the network (as

Charge on capacitor between terminals $a$ and $b$

$\dfrac{Q}{2} = \dfrac{CV}{2}$

Energy stored in that capacitor $= \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{{\left(\dfrac{Q}{2}\right)}^{2}}{C}$

$= \dfrac{{Q}^{2}}{8C}$

$= \dfrac{{CV}^{2}}{8}$

$= \dfrac{1 \times {10}^{- 6} \times {10}^{2}}{8}J$

$= 12 . 5\muJ$
